Methodological development on the topic: Scenario of the game program "Mouse Tail". Literary quiz “Drop the mouse - pick up the book”

The beginning of a school course, the so-called “organizational moment,” is usually not described in methodological recommendations. However, at the beginning of the school year, every teacher carefully compiles a list of requirements and various information that must be communicated to children for future successful educational work.

Safety precautions

Safety regulations are aimed at preserving human health and the safety of equipment. There are many rules, but you should not be tempted to reduce them to two abstract instructions: "keep discipline" And "be clean", because nowhere is specificity more important than in safety regulations.

In the next lessons, acquaintance with the rules of safety will be continued.

Computer science

Children will come to a computer class for the first time, to a computer science lesson.

The subject of science "computer science" is information(transfer, processing and storage of information), and not a computer at all. Computer is a computer science tool, like a microscope is an instrument of biology, a compass is an instrument of geography, a telescope is an instrument of astronomy.

However, the achievements of modern computer science are based exclusively on the capabilities of computer technology (impossible without it), therefore computer science is clearly associated with a computer.

First graders need to be explained what they will do in this or that subject.

We are speaking:

• We study in mathematics count(although math is not counting).
• We study in Russian write(although Russian is not a writing language).
• We learn from literature read(although reading is not literature).

What about computer science classes? In computer science learning to work on a computer(although computer is not computer science).

These formulas (mathematics - counting, Russian - writing, computer science - computer) refer to the first steps in a particular learning: learning to count, write, work on a computer.

The authors really wanted to replace the phrase “computer science teaches how to work on a computer” in the textbook with “Informatics teaches you how to work with information” or “Informatics teaches you how to work with algorithms”(for algorithms are the basis of computer science, and the development of algorithmic thinking is the main goal that we set for ourselves in this course). But information and algorithms are abstractions that are not yet accessible to our students, and the computer, this is concrete, here it is, handsome, stands in plain sight, and children will really master computer literacy on it. So our lofty goals will have to be left unspoken for now. The time will come when we will deal with this thoroughly.

Note that under computer literacy we understand the skills, abilities and knowledge that stable in relation to the rapid changes of modern society, and which are capable of preparing today’s first-graders for life in the information society in 10 years, about the structure of which no one now has the slightest idea. In particular, during the training we will try to give not push-button instructions (click on the house icon), but ideological algorithms (return to the starting page). Because the buttons change or disappear altogether (gesture control), but the ideas remain.

Robots

In modern society, a computer is used almost everywhere; it helps a person (or can help) in any matter.

Robotland

Robotlandia is computer science for primary schoolchildren. A huge number of adults are engaged in important and complex computer science problems that children are not yet able to do.

Robotlandia helps kids learn the basics of this subject. Note: fundamentals, those that are resistant to the rapid changes of modern society, and that are capable of preparing children for life in the information society in 10 years, about the structure of which no one now has the slightest idea, except for the fact that it will be revolutionaryly different from the current one.

A Brief History of Robotland

The course called “Robotlandia” went down in the history of school computer science as an example of a complex pedagogical product that successfully combines an ideological foundation, a textbook for students, software and recommendations for teachers.

Despite the considerable age of this system and the outdated DOS interface, “Robotlandia” is still used in schools, which indicates the high quality of this pedagogical product, focused not on the study of fleeting software, but on the study of the fundamental principles of computer science, invariant with respect to change computer generations.

However, a group of employees of the future Robotland began work on creating a computer science course for younger schoolchildren on September 3, 1986 in the bowels of the school computer science laboratory of the Institute of Software Systems of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Pereslavl-Zalessky, Yaroslavl region).

The laboratory was headed by Pervin Yuri Abramovich. Several groups worked within the laboratory, among which was a group led by Alexander Duvanov, which became the center of the future Robotland.

The first version of the system was ready by the summer of 1987.

The success of Robotlandia was largely determined by the fact that the course was born in real school lessons, and not within the walls of an academic laboratory. Even the employees' workplaces were located in the school computer lab. What was discussed by the developers in the evening was tested with children in class the next day and adjusted along the way. Both general methodological lines and specific computer programs were discussed and clarified, their functionality was honed, and the interface and design were carefully thought out.

The core development team included:

• Goltsman Mikhail Alexandrovich
• Drozdov Nikolay Borisovich
• Duvanov Alexander Alexandrovich
• Zaidelman Yakov Naumovich
• Pervin Yuri Abramovich
• Russ Alexander Arturovich (artist)

What we learned

The “explanatory” part of the lesson is completed. Let's repeat what we learned.

Homework

Now is the time to submit your homework! The rest of the lesson is devoted to practice, and it will not be easy to distract the children from it later.

The first drawing in the workbook, together with the passed test on TB, will serve as a “pass” to the country of Robotland. This fact can be noted, for example, with the letter R on the cover of the child’s notebook.

Fizminutka

Workshop (p): will we collect the word ROBOT?

The workshop is performed without a computer (at a desk): we collect the word ROBOT.

Goal: to consolidate the spelling of key words in computer science.

Pictures with letters can be printed from the folder work/01/robot.

Workshop (k): working with the mouse (clicks, transitions, checkboxes)

Goal: practicing mouse operations.

All-Russian distance competition for librarians for the best methodological development “Library Lesson”

Library lesson at the Vladimir Rural Library

Rivne district, Saratov region

“Drop the mouse and pick up the book!”

Often we all tell you: “You cannot live in the world without a book.” We convince you that you need to read as much as possible, that reading improves your memory, develops speech, helps you grow up well-mannered, kind, and honest.

What do you guys think? Answers.

Modern books are well known to all of you.

Let's imagine: the books are missing, they are gone...

No books, no paper, no ink.Don't read or write.

To convey information we draw on the walls. Let's write on clay like in the old days, make books from calfskin, process papyrus scrolls
Two thousand years ago people began making paper.

Why was this necessary? The first books appeared a long time ago. Even before our era, ancient Greece invented letters to represent words.The first books were handwritten. Then, like in the 15th century, there will be the first printing press...
In the Middle Ages, books were very expensive. Especially valuable copies were chained to the wall or to special music stands - so that no one would absent-mindedly take the book with them.

There was even a “Living Library”. It was owned by the wealthy Roman merchant Itzel. It consisted of slaves, each of whom was a talking book.

Once there was such news: the library of Ivan the Terrible was found in one of the dungeons near Moscow! Archaeologists found curious notes on readers’ forms: “Cut off the head”, “Impale”, “Wait - maybe he’ll return the book”...It’s terrible, and the methods. This is written about the world of books.

Francis Bacon said: “Books are ships of thought, traveling the waves of time and carefully carrying their precious cargo from generation to generation.”

“Precious cargo” ... (thoughtfullyo or playfully) Show

Yes, books are precious cargo.

You have a good opportunity to use this precious cargo. In the Year of Literature, when we believe that true literature unites humanity, the bookwill help in a friendly manner to sort out the motley and stormy confusion of thoughts, feelings, events, it will teach us to respect people and ourselves, it inspires the mind and heart with a feeling of love for the world, for humanity.

Choose any of the books for yourself. Don't forget this is a precious cargo. Now this promotion is called BOOKCROSSING, everyone can choose a book, read it, and “set it free.”

1. Lift up. Unusualbook rainbow At school!

2. Open the book, freeze. Photo! Take a different pose. The new FLASHMOB campaign helps spread the idea of ​​promoting reading and the formation of a new image of the library. The entire 7th grade is participating in the library's "Caught Reading" competition today.
3. Find a statement and read it.

CREATIVE ABOUT READING .

You are reading - you are the best!

A person who reads is a successful person!

News in the computer - life in the book!

The cure for stupidity already exists... Read books!

Reading is a holiday of the soul. Have a holiday - read!

Towards books and reading through leisure and communication

Read books - be a person!

Whatever one may say, there is no way to education without books!

4. Find the letters and assemble themtagline! Let's throw the mouse, take the book.

Performance“I am writing to you...” participants of the action remember their favorite character from a literary work and write a few words of recognition and respect.

Performance: Guys, name a literary hero who is worthy of the Victory Parade.

For you I present leaflet, FLYERS "10 book facts." Distribute.

A literary mosaic for you

1. Covers, twists, howls, child.

(A.S. Pushkin. “Winter Evening”:
The storm covers the sky with darkness,
Whirling snow whirlwinds;
Then, like a beast, she will howl,
Then he will cry like a child...)

2. Lonely, blue, distant, dear.

(M.Yu. Lermontov. “Sail”:
The lonely sail is white
In the blue sea fog!..
What is he looking for in a distant land?
What did he throw in his native land?..)

3. It’s time, it’s frosty, uphill, heavy.

(N.A. Nekrasov. “Peasant Children”:
Once upon a time in the cold winter time
I came out of the forest, it was severely frosty.
I see it's slowly going uphill
A horse carrying a cart of brushwood.)

4. May, thunder, playing, blue. (F.I. Tyutchev. “I love thunderstorms in early May...”:
I love the storm in early May,
When the first thunder of spring
As if frolicking and playing,
Rumbling in the blue sky.)

WE CARRY OUT “ERUDIT CONTROL”.

“Find out by excerpts” - an excerpt of a work is given, the family must guess the title and author of the work.

Try to guess!

Answer Library

Today, when leaving the library, I met three guys. Here is their dialogue: 1 - I should get some books! 2 - yeah, pass it first... 3 - You have to find it first.

And I wait for you in the library every day, sometimes for a long time.

Forgetful readers have always existed. In 1975, the book “Learn to Knit and Embroider” was returned to one of the rural libraries. The reader was so captivated by it that she kept it for 43 years.

A record of absent-mindedness was set in the Cambridge University library: the book was returned there... In 300 years.

Our library has its own history. I had my reader’s military ID for 18 years. In 2014 they came for him. The moment of news that I have it deserves a good movie.

In any case, we are waiting for you with books in the library.

And you are for me, as A. Akhmatova said:

« And every reader is like a secret,

Like a treasure buried in the ground" .

Libraries hold flip charts where you can express your attitude and opinion about the book.

The memory of the event can be reflected in GRAFFITI SPRAY ART.

You all can be not just library users, but library fans.

"New Year's Adventures in Computer Land"

characters:

Father Frost -

Snow Maiden

Girl Zhenya

Boy Dima

Winchester

PC mouse

Trojan and Worm (viruses)

Antivirus (superhero)

Picture one.

Zhenya and Dima are on stage.

Zhenya.

Dima.

Zhenya. Hello, dear adults!

Dima. The long-awaited holiday that we all love is coming - New Year!

Zhenya. Come on, answer us together: “Are you ready to celebrate the New Year?”

Dima. But before we call Santa Claus, let's get acquainted!

Dima. This is Zhenya!

Zhenya. And this is Dmitry!

Zhenya. It was very nice to meet you!

Dima. Before you celebrate the new year, you need to spend the old one. Here is one boy who forgot to spend the old year and became a repeater. After all, next year he will go to the same class again. Because if you don’t say goodbye to the old year, everything bad can happen again in the new year.

Zhenya. Yes, indeed, it would be somehow rude to greet a young person without saying goodbye to the old one. As they say, elders must be respected!

Dima. And we invite everyone to spend the old year amicably and cheerfully! Do you agree? After all, only the one who takes a solemn oath will enter the New Year!

Zhenya. And what is needed for this?

Dima. Well, firstly, it is necessary to create a solemn atmosphere.

Zhenya. How's that?

Dima. The oath must be pronounced in a solemn position. Please stand like this: raise your right leg, pinch your nose with your right hand, and place your left hand on your stomach.

Zhenya. Like this? A very solemn pose!

Dima. Figured it out myself! Now, without unclenching your nose, repeat loudly after me! Just be sure to be loud, otherwise the old year won’t hear! Prepared: “I,... entering the new year... in front of my friends... solemnly swear... never to cry,... not to get sick,... not to offend my comrades,... not to be lazy.... And always be in a good mood... as the great Father Frost bequeaths,... as the cheerful Snow Maiden teaches..."

Zhenya. Well done! Everyone who took the oath is ready to celebrate the New Year!

(New Year's song plays _____________________________________)

Dima. No, no, that's not all!

Zhenya. What else?

Dima. We still need to appease the old year! When the old year is over, he immediately gets into his old car, as old as himself, and drives off to Antarctica.

Zhenya. Guys, have you heard about Antarctica? That's right, this is the country of icebergs, where polar explorers live and all the old times have passed.

Dima. They have a boarding house there for the elderly!

Zhenya. Let's quickly appease the old year and begin to welcome the new one! To do this, we will watch a 5th grade presentation.

Dima. So we said goodbye to the old year. Let's once again remember all the good things that happened this year, and together say to him: “Goodbye, old year!”

Zhenya. Hello, fabulous, mysterious New Year!

The New Year's song is being sung__________________________________________________________.

Picture two.

Dima goes on stage with a laptop.

Zhenya. Dima, are you going to play?

Dima. No, this is a New Year's surprise for the guys, a gift from Santa Claus!

Zhenya. What kind of gift is this?

Dima. Magic computer from Santa Claus! One two Three! Feel free to click “OK”!

D.M. Hello, dear guys!

Snow Maiden. Hello, girls and boys!

D.M. I remember exactly a year ago I saw these guys.

The year has flown by like an hour, and you didn’t even notice!

Here I am again among you, dear children!

I'm real Santa Claus

From the deep green thicket,

Where there are spruce trees in the snowdrifts,

Where are the storms and blizzards,

Where the forests are dense

And the snow is loose.

Snow Maiden. Every time on New Year's Eve

Let's go on a hike

Marching joyfully

Across our huge country.

D.M. And even though the path is long, it’s a stern kabyak! Pukakka chiryaka! Lulyuka figako, no pipika, murmonya pig!

Snow Maiden. Makaka pozyaka, decrepit atuki, bibika funyaka!

D.M. Nameka menak, pugako, mordyako, chuchunya khanaki.

Zhenya. Dima, what are they saying? Guys, do you understand something?

Winchester. Haha, end of your earthly holiday! I, the great Winchester, will organize my own holiday - a virtual New Year!

Zhenya. What kind of holiday is this?

The Christmas tree is virtual, the gifts are virtual, and I will be your virtual Santa Claus!

Dima. Well... I still understand the Christmas tree, but how are these virtual gifts and virtual Santa Claus? I don't understand.

Zhenya. But I’m not going to understand, I’m not going to have a virtual holiday at all, I want a real one.

Ha, ha! And no one asks you, today I command!

Zhenya. There was also a ruler here who scared me!

Now we will watch the 6th grade New Year's presentation.

Dima. Let's call Santa Claus, guys, he'll quickly deal with the hard drive!

Winchester Ha ha ha! Made me laugh! Yes, I hid your Santa Claus in my computer country so much that he would never get out of there, and he would never see you any gifts or joy. Choose: either my New Year, or...

Zhenya. It’s strange, it looks like Santa Claus’s computer, but it’s so evil. The viruses must have infected him.

Dima. Santa Claus said that, as a last resort, you need to press this button.

Zhenya. What if you completely ruin everything?

Dima. It was, it wasn’t! One two Three! Hurry up, I click “OK”!

Picture three.

The Computer Mouse appears.

Mouse. New Year is coming again

And he collects from the Christmas tree.

Santa Claus congratulates everyone

I'm very glad to meet you

Greetings friends!

Let's get to know each other quickly, guys!

With a computer mouse, oh, mischievous mouse!

Hello guys, I'm Computer Mouse!

Mouse. Aren't you afraid to go to a virtual country, clean your computer of viruses and find Santa Claus?

Dima. We? Are we afraid? Yes, I know all computer games, I will kill any monsters and bring Santa Claus to you!

Zhenya. How will we get there?

Well, first of all, the guys need to guess the computer password!

And I will help you with this! Answer my questions.

Mouse. Who races dashingly in a troika?

Whose red nose is flashing?

Who's knocking on our window?

This…

Mouse. Who came to the children's holiday?

Who brought gifts for everyone?

Who is the kindest in the world?

Who is from behind the forest today?

Did you bring the New Year in a sleigh?

Who hung the toys here?

This…

Mouse. Well, guess what? What's the password?

(answer “Santa Claus” in unison)

Dima. Well done boys!

Zhenya. The guys guessed the password. What else is needed to get into computer country?

Mouse. At my command, let's press the button. One two Three! Quickly, click “OK”

Scene four.

Viruses appear - Trojan and Worm

Worm and Trojan. What do we need, a holiday, what do we need a Christmas tree for - nonsense!

Let's take small children into the wilderness!

We'll clog up the computer's brain and cool!

There will be a new holiday, but, alas, you!

Hey! Virus! Spare no effort!

Hey! You are a virus! And go ahead boldly!

Trojan . It’s great that you and I have arranged everything, the hard drive of Santa Claus’s computer is so clogged that he will never get out, and we, the viruses, will have our own coolest holiday!

Worm Oh look, the kids are here!

Trojan. Hi!

Worm What do you want? Holidays, gifts?

Trojan . Please, here are your gifts!

Do not like?

Winchester. What are you doing here for fun? The protection system has worked! Uninvited guests have entered the computer. My faithful assistants, quickly find them and format them!

Worm. Trojan . We obey! How to format them, they are real.

Winchester. We need to deceive them and lure them into a trap.

Worm How can we do this?

Winchester. I'll digitize you now. Prepared7

Worm. Trojan. Let's get ready.

Winchester. Enter, bender, divider!

(viruses dress up as Father Frost and Snow Maiden)

Worm Who am I?

Trojan. And who am I?

Winchester. Worm, you will be the Snow Maiden! And you, Troyan, will be Santa Claus!

Worm Can we change?

Winchester. No changes! We act according to plan. One lures, and the other puts in a bag!

Worm I'll put it in a bag!

Trojan . You are the Snow Maiden. You have to entice.

Worm And I will fold!

Winchester. All forward! Ambush!

Worm What will happen while we are sitting in ambush?

Winchester. While you are in ambush, there will be a musical pause.

Scene five.

Zhenya. How everything around was covered in snow. No paths, no paths, like in the North.

Dima. Not in the North, but on the server. We are in the very center of computer country.

Zhenya. Dima, do you think we can defeat the evil Winchester?

Worm Help, help! Evil viruses have stolen Santa Claus!

Zhenya. Is someone calling us?

Dima. Hey, who's there?

Worm It's me, Snow Maiden.

Mouse. Guys, you are being deceived! These are not the real Father Frost and Snow Maiden.

Dima. So-so!

Worm. Trojan. We completed the task!

Mouse. Guys, how can we help Dima and Zhenya?

Mouse. That's right, guys, antivirus will help us! We press the button. One two Three! Rather, we click “OK”

Worm She called the antivirus! What to do?

Trojan Let's hide them!

Antivirus. I am an antivirus flying through websites! I am an arrow aimed at the chest of international hacker crime! I am the eye of justice! Who called me, who needs help?

Worm We need!

Antivirus. Oh, I'm always ready to help! Such a charming girl! Have you been robbed? Are you receiving death threats?

Worm They robbed and threatened. Evil viruses.

Antivirus So... I'll handle this viral thing. Everyone stand still! Don't move! Don't trample evidence!

Antivirus Great, I assumed that the crime was committed by experienced criminals. They left no traces of their own. All sites are polluted, but I am the toughest virus fighter, I will overcome. I am the best…

Trojan Let's get down to business.

Antivirus Komon! Komon! I'm genius! But I don't know where to look for them.

Trojan Why look for them - here they are. Take it and destroy it.

Antivirus Yep, gotcha!

Mouse. Are you a hero, these are real viruses.

Dima. We urgently need to find the site of Santa Claus and free him.

Zhenya. Otherwise, instead of a real New Year's holiday, only a virtual one will take place, and we will never be able to meet the real Santa Claus. And the guys won't get real gifts.

Antivirus Komon! Komon! I'm genius! Only I know how to lure them into an ambush.

Dima. Hooray, I love ambushes so much!

Zhenya. And I have never made an ambush.

Antivirus To do this, we all need to make a huge antenna. Stand up, everyone. Perform the movements with me and repeat loudly: “Viruses! Into the trap!

Worm. I don't want!

Trojan. I will not go!

Worm. I'm being pulled into some kind of funnel!

Antivirus That's all.

Dima. As everybody? We didn't destroy them.

Zhenya. The guys know how to do it. Click the magic “OK” button

Worm. Let us go.

Trojan. We will improve.

Once upon a time, the computer was controlled exclusively using text commands that were entered into the command line via the keyboard. This continued until the 1980s, despite the fact that back in 1963, engineer Douglas Engelbart began work on a pointing device for pointing objects on a screen.

In the same year, using Engelbart's work, his colleague Bill English created the first prototype of the device: a wooden box with a button on top and two perpendicular metal wheels inside to indicate horizontal and vertical positions on the display.

By tilting the device, the wheels could be operated separately to move the pointer precisely along the X or Y axis. In 1968, Engelbart publicly unveiled the pointing device, and his presentation was called "The Mother of All Demonstrations."

Douglas Engelbart's presentation is considered the first time the mouse was shown to a mass audience.

It wasn't until 1973 that the PC with a graphical user interface was introduced. The Xerox Alto was controlled using a keyboard and a three-button mouse. The metal wheels for changing the cursor position have been replaced with a metal ball and rollers. Until the 90s, the basic operating principle did not change significantly.

From the first days of its existence, the mouse was not widely used. It began to gain widespread popularity only with the release of the Apple Macintosh 128k computer in 1984. The M0100 model for this PC cost only $15, not several hundred as previously. So the mouse not only became accessible to people with average incomes, but also became the main pointing device for Apple's graphical interface.

The promotional video said: “If you can point to something, you can control the system.”. Steve Jobs, as with smartphones and tablets, did not invent the mouse, but clever marketing and user-friendly design were responsible for its success. In 1985, Microsoft began producing its own mice for Windows 1.0.

And then events began to develop at crazy speed. The rubberized ball has been replaced by optical sensors and lasers because they position the cursor more accurately and do not require cleaning. Wireless mice have given people greater freedom of movement while working. On the other hand, laptops have appeared with a touchpad, which is an alternative to a mouse: you can work on them while on the go, even if there is no flat surface at hand.

Meanwhile, office workers often complain of typical occupational ailments such as computer mouse syndrome. There have been numerous attempts to change the design to improve ergonomics (for example, by installing a trackball to control the cursor), but so far they have not been very successful.

Currently, touch screens have become a good alternative, since such control is more intuitive and does not require additional equipment. However, it is not yet known whether this control method can completely replace the mouse in offices.
